Class CSVRead

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.jmeter.functions.AbstractFunction
      extended by org.apache.jmeter.functions.CSVRead
All Implemented Interfaces:
Function

public class CSVRead
extends AbstractFunction

The function represented by this class allows data to be read from CSV files. Syntax is similar to StringFromFile function. The function allows the test to line-thru the data in the CSV file - one line per each test. E.g. inserting the following in the test scripts : ${_CSVRead(c:/BOF/abcd.csv,0)} // read (first) line of 'c:/BOF/abcd.csv' , return the 1st column ( represented by the '0'), ${_CSVRead(c:/BOF/abcd.csv,1)} // read (first) line of 'c:/BOF/abcd.csv' , return the 2nd column ( represented by the '1'), ${_CSVRead(c:/BOF/abcd.csv,next())} // Go to next line of 'c:/BOF/abcd.csv' NOTE: A single instance of each different file is opened and used for all threads. To open the same file twice, use the alias function: __CSVRead(abc.csv,*ONE); __CSVRead(abc.csv,*TWO); __CSVRead(*ONE,1); etc

Since:
1.9

Method Detail

execute

public String execute(SampleResult previousResult,
                      Sampler currentSampler)
               throws InvalidVariableException

N.B. setParameters() and execute() are called from different threads, so both must be synchronized unless there are no parameters to save

Specified by:
execute in interface Function
Specified by:
execute in class AbstractFunction
Throws:
InvalidVariableException
See Also:
Function.execute(SampleResult, Sampler)

getArgumentDesc

public List<String> getArgumentDesc()
Return a list of strings briefly describing each parameter your function takes. Please use JMeterUtils.getResString(resource_name) to grab a resource string. Otherwise, your help text will be difficult to internationalize. This list is not optional. If you don't wish to write help, you must at least return a List containing the correct number of blank strings, one for each argument.


getReferenceKey

public String getReferenceKey()
Return the name of your function. Convention is to prepend "__" to the name (ie "__regexFunction")

Specified by:
getReferenceKey in interface Function
Specified by:
getReferenceKey in class AbstractFunction
See Also:
Function.getReferenceKey()

setParameters

public void setParameters(Collection<CompoundVariable> parameters)
                   throws InvalidVariableException

N.B. setParameters() and execute() are called from different threads, so both must be synchronized unless there are no parameters to save

Specified by:
setParameters in interface Function
Specified by:
setParameters in class AbstractFunction
Throws:
InvalidVariableException
See Also:

Note: This is always called even if no parameters are provided (versions of JMeter after 2.3.1)
